Got stuck on ice there and waited 24 hrs for a tow truck to come and get me out. Then, I went a whole six miles and gave up again after getting stuck TWICE on ice on the interstate, getting going again only after the truck behind me gave me a shove. That took 4.5 hours. Parked on the street all night and got going the third day and made it to W. Memphis by 6 pm. Sheesh! I would NOT let the student drive in it either! He's from Florida and doesn't know how to drive in snow.
Squeals like a girl when the truck slips sideways into another truck, too. He now trusts my driving skilz a lot more than he used to.

I took a few pics but you'll have to wait until I find the cable to d/l them.

Do you use chains? They're frequently required in Colorado, but I don't know if most trucks carry them.

IMO, camping is only justified as an excuse to enjoy pleasant weather. Winter camping is a non sequitur.

chrisinhouston · 02-04-2009, 08:48 AM

So much ice, so little gin!

TheMercenary · 02-04-2009, 08:37 PM

Ugg, winter camping. The last time I did it was for survival tng and it was only good because it was instructive. Not something I relish to repeat.

HLJ, all trucks in snow-prone areas such as the I70 and I80 corridors over the mountains must carry chains, and use them if the chain law is dropped and they want to go. Most of us refuse to chain up and just park until the roads are passable again.

My company has chain banks just outside of those areas and our drivers must stop there and check out four sets of chains to carry (or else a $750 fine) and return them on the other side. We are not permitted to take the chains out of that region. Should we need them again, say for a trip to Seattle, we must do the check-in and out procedure each time we enter a chain-required area.

I do not chain unless I happen to be up there when the chain law drops.
